Überband was founded in 2001 by lead
singer/keyboardist/nudist RyThoJo and guitarist/unlicensed
physician Dr. Mick Mitchum. A number of nincompoops passed
through their doors. The final line-up included bassist/possible wizard
Sumit Das and drummer/actual superhero The Jewish
Fury.

They wowed, disgusted, irked, and fascinated the Los
Angeles rock scene for well over a decade trying to inject punk aesthetic,
dadaist imagery, and instrumental virtuosity into bars where people were
just trying to get drunk and laid.

Eventually they broke up because the world isn't a
perfect place and humans only deserve so much happiness.

There were highlights...

- They covered the club 14 Below in bologna while
playing the Oscar Meyer jingle.

- They acted as the house band for Joseph
Gordon-Levitt's HitRECord Fall Formal at the esteemed Orpheum Theater,
backing up the likes of Sia Furler, Kid Koala, Anne Hathaway, and young
Joseph himself.

- They drove a club owner to such feats of
drunkenness one night, that he almost got thrown out of his own bar.

- During a San Francisco gig, a former bassist may
have thrown furniture into a pool, convinced the hotel clerk it was either
the wind or a stranger, and made peace with weed, all while a former drummer
was buying crack off a homeless gentleman.
